The advance booking of Happy New Year has opened all over the country. Majority of theatres have only started selling tickets of the film today, so plenty of tickets are currently on sale.
Even with a runtime of 3 hours, the Shahrukh Khan starrer has been allotted plenty of shows at multiplexes. The show count is about the same as Kick at most multiplexes, but higher than Singham Returns and Bang Bang. At a few multiplexes in Kolkata, where Shahrukh Khan is well and truly the king of the box office, Happy New Year will be running on all screens throughout the day. Just two shows are taken by two different Hollywood films at a multiplex.
The story in similar in other parts of the country too, Happy New Year will have absolutely no competition except in South India where two Tamil films have released today. But even in Tamilnadu, Happy New Year has been allotted a good numbers of shows, although advance booking at quite a few centres hasn’t begun here.
The opening is expected to be record-breaking in Andhra/Nizam (outstanding advance booking already), Delhi / NCR Region is off to a good start and even in Mumbai circuit tickets are selling quickly even though counters opened only today.
The increase in ticket prices varies from 5% to 15% higher as compared to Bang Bang, but prices are generally about the same as Kick.
Detailed advance booking report of Happy New Year will be out tomorrow. Box office prediction and much more later today! Stay tuned.

my prediction
1st day 45 cr
weekend 100-110 cr
week 1. 150-200
lifetime 240-300
Superb
I’m damn sure hny has a good story… In comedy nights srk made fun of his own movie… it means he is super confident abt hny…. 250 cr collection on cards in india…. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!
@babaji hny need not earn 40 cr on day 1 … 35 cr will b satisfactory….. We all knw tat ur ass is burning after bang bang debacle… Bang bang was a bad movie
All srk haters will go in depression after d release of hny…. Spreading negativity .. telling tat its a brainless movie …etc.. srk is not akki to do a movie like tmk, joker.. Srk chooses his scripts well… We srk fans knw tat hny is gonna rock!!!
@Don2 arre What happened? Just one warning of mine and you are happy with 35crs!!! lol
Remember,Krrish 3 collected 35.91crs on 4th day…
Wow advance booking is extraordinary Hny storm is coming.
Even Mr. Bean is thousand of times better than SRK LOL
HNY..1st-Day-38-40cr..weekneed-110-115cr..1week-180-200cr..Life Time-290-300cr..All Record Breaking.
The Cinepolis theatre in Pune is going to play 38 shows of HNY in a day where as it played around 52 shows of D3. Does that mean the length has taken away 14 shows ? If that is the case with all over India, I doubt if it has the possibility of breaking first day Dhoom 3 record :-(
We should have a mechanism where it can clearly state the # of shows screened on day 1 vs collections
@don2 5:30pm
Yes our king does choose wonderful scripts bcoz at Laal Mirchi he has supervised the writing of such epic scripts n bankrolled those films like the classic Billu, Ratoon Point One, Always Kabhi Kabhi and this yrs Lootera equivalent- Yeh Hai Bakrapur….! King has a knack for good scripts….! ;-)
For me i think first day will be in 38 crore to 43 crore range. I m very excited for the movie.
What is this Indicine,I don’t agree with your options.
My predicition first of all Our king has 3.7 billion fans worldwide more than 50% people of world his fans.So if we just considered due to many circumstance in various place still .5 billion I.e. 50 cr people watch this film.Some places hny not releasing.For average I assume 20 crore footfalls for HNY we.As some people were skip the film as they are busy to drink complan to increase their height as like outr complan boy who is shorter enough in theatre he not able to see the film if some one sitting ahead him.Some are busy in Horlicks as they want to be smarter and sharper as HNY is intelligent hiest film.
When the .movie release we srkians are standing outside 100 times more than people inside in theatre, and we creature too much hoople outside as multiplex owner escaped inside srkians to join us so first 3 days movie will cross 500cr we even though a single srkian hasn’t seen the film.Than we see again so lifetime collection here:
10 crore footfalls India- avg ticket rate-50 rs so 500 cr in India (highest footfalls in theatre ever)
10 cr worldwide — $5 average price so 50 crore $ or 3000 cr
So final collection -3500 cr minimum.
If any thing less than achieved by film than our main excuse is- wrong title of film as we thought HNY will release on near to 1 Jan as the title suggest but they released 2 months earlier so we thought movie title should be Happy Diwali to get more footfalls
Warning- if we 3.7 billion fans watch the film in theatre than Avatra record is easily broken.But Him Ehsan kar rahe h Hollywood par.
Don’t underestimate the power of our over actor king.
m njoying here by watching bang bang…. Dnd need hny to waste my money on it….. Whose last 4 – 5 movies consecutively getting worse nd dis boaring and head sucker nonsence losers movie i cant watch
@legend khan not only that bro, Mr. Bean’s face is also ten thousand times better than our KING.

I just checked Book My Show for Bangalore. Only 20% of screens shows sold out for Friday. Saturday is arond 10% & Sunday as of now only 5%. This could be lot of screens playing HNY people does not want pay extra for pre booking or BMS charges. Wish Indicine had option to upload pics by visitors to show these screen shots to Srk fans !!!!!!!!!!!
